A few years ago I took thousands of photos of our wedding using GoPros mounted around the site. I never did anything with the images. Now I'd like to edit them together into a series of time-laspe films. The images are already sequenced by file name courtesy of the camera... I just need to point to the thousands of files and have something compile and render the film.

Can anyone recommend a good free (or at least cheap) app, software program, or website that will help? My options are an older and somewhat underpowered Windows machine (my work laptop), a much newer Chromebook, an older iPad, or an Android phone (LG G4).

Thanks for the help!

I do this all the time with Photoshop CS6 - sunrise timelapses with about 2-3k photos - but it's neither free nor cheap.

The good news is I just ran a quick test with some of my saved files, and it works just as well with Virtualdub, which is free, easy, and a 2mb download that doesn't need to be installed. Took less than 2 minutes to download and start a render.

You'll need to use your windows machine, and regardless of how underpowered it is it should work fine. The test render I did was about 500 files and it only took about 30 seconds to render.
